YOGA

Nadi Shodan Pranayama

The best exercise to bring down your body temperature and deal with headaches. It helps to relax your nervous system. It is a simple breathing technique which cleanses the respiratory and circulatory systems.

Sit with your spine erect and shoulders relaxed.

Place your left hand on your left knee and loosen your palms.

Now place the tip of your index finger and middle finger of your right hand in between your eyebrows.

Place your ring finger and middle finger on left nostril and your thumb on the right nostril.

You have to use the ring finger and the little finger to open and close the left nostril and thumb for the right nostril.

Press your thumb gently on the right nostril and breath out through the left nostril.

Now inhale from the left nostril and press the left nostril gently with your ring and little finger. Removing the right thumb from the right nostril, exhale through the right.

Again breathe in from the right nostril and exhale from the left to complete one round of nadi shodhan pranayama. Continue breathing in and breathing out from alternate nostrils.

Complete 9 rounds of alternatively breathing through the nostrils. Make sure you keep your eyes closed while you do the pranayama.

While having fever you can perform this 2 to 3 times a day.

Shitali Pranayama

‘Shitali’ is a Sanskrit word and it means ‘cooling down’. This yoga helps in relaxing the central nervous system and hence cures fever. Steps to do the pose:

Sit in sukhasana or padmasana.

Bring your tongue forward such that it is pressed against your teeth from inside your mouth. Part your lips such that your teeth are visible.

Now, inhale air through your mouth in such a way that the air is passed all over your tongue. Inhale as much air and fill up your lungs.

Once your lungs are filled with air, exhale the air through your nostrils gradually.

Repeat the entire practice ten times.

While in fever you can perform this twice a day and empty stomach.
